What: Information and Training
When: October 15th

Summary: Training and informational sessions for newly arrived gods and shinki
Gods and shinki arriving at heaven's meeting hall are, should they allow it, guided to the Meeting Hall, where a reception area and a traditionally styled dojo and training ground have been made available for the day. The gods and shinki are free to take their time during this day to learn about the details of their new life from Amaterasu's shinki or from the many veteran new god and shinki volunteers.
God Training
- Newly arrived gods are escorted into a traditional reception room within the Meeting Hall for an informational meeting covering the basics of proper god behavior. A minor deity is giving the speech, and none of the white-robed shinki enter. They are encouraged to discuss the information with each other and ask questions of more experienced gods, as well as instructed to guide their new shinki appropriately.
Shinki Training
- Various shinki in the white-and-gold of Amaterasu's hosuehold are stationed around the dojo, passing out helpful informational pamphlets. They will be happy to instruct the newcomers in the use of the borderline as well as offering an explanation of what is expected of a shinki and the importance of teamwork with other shinki and with gods. Shinki are encouraged to work together to practice what they've learned and discuss their perspectives.
A training game has been set up through a section of the Meeting Hall gardens, with little cut-outs of ayakashi hidden in the landscaping, tucked into bushes or taped under bridges. Prize ribbons are being offered for every ten "ayakashi" a shinki (or team) discovers.
Physical Training
- The dojo is stocked with a wide variety of practice weapons, traditional and modern, to offer some practice opportunity to gods who, for example, find themselves with a sword shinki but are at risk of cutting off their own toes. It's also useful for veteran new gods wishing to train with their current partner shinki. Several magically animated straw-stuffed training dummies, many of which have been carefully mended and patched with neat black stitching, are set up on the lawn with a white-robed shinki hovering nearby to watch over them. They make good training partners, although anyone who comes too close risks being targeted for a sparring match whether they wanted one or not.
The pond behind the dojo has had dozens wooden poles sunk in it, spaced a few feet apart, with a bunch of brightly colored ribbons tied around the pole in the very center. Some of the white-robed shinki are practicing scaling the poles and leaping from one to the next, until they get close enough that they can snatch a ribbon from the center pole, and several have fallen in and are being teased by their fellows.
Rest and Refreshments
- Instead of snacks being served at the training session, this week, white-robed shinki with little flags are conducting groups of newcomers and volunteers down to the Tokyo Daijingu shrine and into a street festival currently being held in Tokyo. Traditional dance troupes are performing on street corners, and vendors have every kind of fall street foods, from barbecue to takoyaki, chocolate-dipped bananas and red-bean pancakes. New arrivals will get a white-and-gold envelope with spending money for the fair, although gods and shinki who have had some time to settle in will have to handle their own lunch expenses.
In Summary:
- Get all the information you can handle
- Veteran new gods and shinki are welcome to volunteer showing the ropes
- Get in some training
- Go to a festival
- Spectate if you want
- Have fun~

Thank you. I'll try to be more careful sorry again.
[There's a pause before Ginia adds on to her message. She's been cagey about giving out her name, but after nearly shooting a kid with a paintball, that's owed at the very least.]
I'm Ginia.
no subject
[She's going on the phonetic sound, so she sure hopes she's right.]
no subject
I arrived today. Shinki.
no subject
Have you met your god yet? If they're a jerk, let me know. I can help you take care of them.
[She's extremely small, and with no fear.]
no subject
Pity she doesn't remember anything.
But Wendy's words still bring a small smile. Spirit is appreciated.]
I haven't met them yet. I also hope there won't be any problems, but thank you? I'll remember that.
no subject
[She bets Shun wouldn't put up with nonsense like that at all.]
no subject
[It's not something she quite wants to dwell on. There's already a level of anxiety over having not yet met her god. But better there's a system in place than nothing at all.]
no subject
[So it's more of a precautionary measure on that front. The real problem is... Frowning, Wendy tucks some stray strands of hair behind her ears.]
Have you read or heard about people disappearing from here?
no subject
[And now that she thinks about it, it was a fairly glib mention. God disappears? Find your own or get sorted back into the system! No big deal, right?]
no subject
...And ayakashi go after souls that can't defend themselves.
[Of which they count as. Being dead.]
no subject
Thus the need for a place for nameless shinki. It's good work you're doing.
Do most shinki and gods get along?
no subject
[She leans in close, whispering conspiratorily.]
Although I think there's someone on the BBS who can't let go of his grudge or something. Watch out for people who don't attach their names, they're weirdos.
no subject
What kind of grudge are we talking about? An unhappy pair or someone unhappy they were released/had to release their shink?
no subject
[She shakes her head in exasperation.]
no subject
no subject
I think someone is even posting a romance story on there? I don't know, I don't really follow it.
[Police dramas aren't her thing.]
no subject
[No doubt there's useful information in there... mixed in with all the posts about coffee versus tea or which is the better popcorn. The internet will be the internet.]
Any other advice for a new shinki? Though if I'm keeping you from something, don't let me.
no subject
So if we have problems, we have to solve them on our own. That means don't keep secrets if there's an issue, okay?
no subject
[Ginia glances at the white-and-gold garbed shinki running around managing everything, doing a quick headcount.]
Do most gods have these many shinki?
no subject
[And it's all frustrating. Following the older woman's gaze, Wendy shrugs.]
I think it's mostly the older gods who do.... Or at least the ones with enough, uh, reputation? New gods usually don't, but that's because people disappear all the time...
no subject
Do you know which god these shinki belong to?
